Mercy (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

Sara Cate is a USA Today bestselling author who writes tantalizing, heartfelt stories about romance and forbidden desire. She lives in Arizona with her husband and kids. She enjoys reading, writing, and baking in her spare time. I have to rant about this, because I DNFd at 5% and it's been awhile since I was so angry at a novel. Premise is a woman who's part-owner of a sex club discovers she's sexually dominant and starts a relationship with her co-worker's bratty son, who's in his 20s. Such a brat! Beau was a character that I was trying so hard to hate because he was definitely hate-able at times! Ultimately, I fell anyway! I don’t even know how but the genuine side we caught glimpses of just stole my heart! His growth was so evident in how he acted with Maggie at their home but also towards the uncomfortable relationships in his life. When he had to interact with Emerson (his dad) and Charlie (his ex) at their wedding, I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for him to finally throw a fit! What happened instead was SO much better lol Beautifully, the story described Maggie and Beau’s growth and acceptance, embracing them and being comforted by the lifestyle, especially after Beau gave it up. I enjoyed reading about her insecurities in her new roles. How Maggie talked jazzed up. I liked and found Beau’s meanness about wanting to be punished for an acquittal and having someone else lead him because he was out of control amusing.

What she does not know is that under all of his tattoos is a seedy habit and a life of crime. Logan’s always had a tough time saying no. If he isn’t careful, this girl is going to be his new addiction. And his ruin, too. Seeing her come out of her shell was so beautiful! I have had a similar experiences like Maggie had as a young person. I was cheering her on by the end of the book when she stood in her strength as a BOSS! Once she let her true Domme/Brat Tamer nature come through it was a BAB in the building! Male Main Character This book does get rather dark and anyone who considers themselves to be a sensitive reader should maybe skip this one. She does give a note at the beginning of the book that has a general disclosure. If you need specific triggers I’d say theses apply to this story: Cullen Ayers wants to make her pay. His torment becomes her life, and she endures every second of it because she deserves it. What began as revenge soon turns into lust. He’s just eighteen, and she should really be ashamed of how good this all feels when they are alone with each other, yet she cannot help herself. She’s in too deep now.

I also loved the subliminal applause of self-acceptance without fanfare, e.g. transgender, and Sophie’s demonstrated kinship with Beau, simplicity, naturalness and caring. Likewise, other characters and their non-traditional roles and accepted turns of phrase were portrayed in the SPC. Speaking of which, there have been appearances from everyone, and especially Emerson and Charlie from Praise, so central to the shaping and forbidden of Beau and Maggie’s relationship. The Sara Cate Experience means getting pulled into a story and escaping reality a bit for romances which are just as emotional as they are arousing. The steam is scorching and the feelings are strong. There isn’t ever one without the other because when love and sex come together, the result is fireworks.

As a side note, the chapter names were really funny at times and I had a giggle to myself at how perfectly they summed up the chapters! Spice Rating Sara’s passion in life is to normalize a reading experience which pushes the boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things which trigger her soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling all of its readers by calling it “trash”.This book is both graphic and explicitly about a sexual relationship. If you’re sensitive to these topics… I don’t know why you’re trying to read this book lol What a twist on the traditional age gap when instead a woman discovers her inner domme, who also has a thing for brats. Enter Beau featured in Lob and he definitely fits the title. Both are new to their naughtiness and their roles: who would have expected the normally quiet Maggie to embody a dominant personality and the egotistical Beau to be submissive? Sure I could see his bellows features, but sub? Surprise surprise.

He is 22 and the son of Emerson Grant, another part owner of Salacious Players’ Club. He is also the ex-boyfriend to Charlie, Emerson’s fiancé/wife. He is described as emotionally volatile and unruly. He looks like a young version of Emerson.
